When a meteor bearing single-celled organisms crashes to the Earth, the life forms are initially confined to a cave. Before long the creatures are evolving at an exponentially rapid rate, resulting in fearsome aliens running amok and possibly spelling mankind's doom, or at least the end of man's domination over life on Earth. Investigating the phenomenon is a community college professor, Ira Kane (David Duchovny), his geologist friend Harry Block (Orlando Jones), wannabe fireman Wayne Green (Seann William Scott), and government scientist Allison Reed (Julianne Moore). Evolution also stars Ted Levine, Ethan Suplee, and Katharine Towne.

It's also pretty funny and clever, and I like the cast. Too bad it's not as good as Reitman's earlier works. He needs to make some more movies. I miss him.

Tim Salmons

Another great comfort food flick.

Duchovny and Jones work well together and the film keeps you laughing throughout.

Being directed by Ivan Rietman, there's a lot of similar elements to Ghostbusters and the feeling of a team which I really liked. It doesn't go too far overboard with showing aliens, you have the general idea and that's it. I think all the performances are good, especially from David Duchovny, Julianne Moore and Seann William Scott.

Dumb and fun with random casting. Has some good moments and is an interesting comedy but probably isn't funny after watching it multiple times.

Dean McKenna

But this in no way takes away from the fun of watching this silly, inventive romp.

A terrible attempt to make a new Ghostbusters.

Sometimes fun, but nothing good, silly gags, awful screenplay, Evolution is a weak try to do sucess again with comedy and sci-fi of Reitman. Rotten.

We have already established that cakaw cakaw and touki-touki don't work.

Makes a great movie for you and your friends to talk over 90% of the time and then tune in during some of the ridiculously stupid gags. Which is what I did.
